Shared System Maintainer Hours for Resolution of Problems Detected During Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Transaction Release Testing

This transmittal provides updated information regarding the hours reserved to correct problems in the October 2005 release. Hours were previously reserved for the July 2005 release. Hours will also be reserved in the January 2006 release of each shared system maintainer for HIPAA transaction programming to rectify identified problems, allow submitter testing to be expanded, if necessary, and enable successful use of the affected transactions in production. The CMS Maintenance Lead for each shared system will coordinate prioritization of current and future problems for correction by that shared system.
